OK first the run down on the car, 10th Anniversary, 47,000 miles, everything is in excellent condition. The clutch was totally fried, even fried the flywheel, which i hope can find another somewhere cheap cause the aftermarkets are a small fortune, got the clutch out the evening, the new ACT clutch should be here this week from rotormotorsports, the sunroof motor is a little tired and it needs a new door lock on the drivers side.



Now for the good stuff, looks like a few mods have been done, but I am still looking it over. It has 3 inch Racing Beat exhaust back to the Y-pipe, then goes 2.75 out the back, looks like a racing beat drop down as well, possibly a shorts shifter, can't tell but it looks it. Also a very funky guage and a funked up button from racing beat, I have included the pics. Has one dent in the door, needs paint and the 10th AE badges to be perfect, they got stolen at some point.



Here are the pics!!!

Oh yeah great another TII that I don't have! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



Great car! Of course I'd take a 10th AE in almost any condition if I could swing it. Something like that's worth the trouble ressurecting.

That gauge is a boost control module, controls the boost curve, I bet it has the fuel cut controller as well! That module allows fingertip control from 7-15 PSI. Part #23000 in the Racing Beat catalog ( which is a simply beautifull catalog might I add ) Sounds like the car is a great find, but its not original anymore, so Ill only offer you $500 to take it off your hands https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif You fugger ! By the way, are there alot of TIIs for sale on the west coast? And I see the weather report for Seattle today, 55 degrees?? No wonder you dont need A/C there!!!!!

It woudln't work, different counterweights between the s4 and s5.





Take the flywheel to a profesional speed/machine shop, they'll tell you if it can be recut again. Should also notice that it is a stepped flywheel. If they dont' know that, don't let them have the flywheel.

Well that car is in great ******* condition. I got to "drive https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png " it from Everett, and it was awesome. lol, j/k.

Alright seriously the car is nice. The boost controller is a serious find, and the exhaust is like brand new.

Congrats Phinsup!

No I used to turn flywheels myself and I can promaise you this one has about 50 hot spots in it.... I don't think an respecatble machine shope would turn and it's not something I want to risk with a $400.00 clutch LOL



Soo... I either need to find a used turnable flywheel or buy a lightened for a cool $300.00+



Thanks for answering my question turbortor on the flywheels... at least I know where I am at!!
